Something Very Bad is Going to Happen has a familiar, but eerie enough premise to draw you in, leading up to a jaw-dropping conclusion. Is this series worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

An eerie mystery.

In a lot of ways, this show reminded me of a Mike Flanagan series. I mean that as a compliment. There was this eerie gothic vibe that trickled through the entire series. I was completely hooked by the time I got to episode three and I thought the mystery surrounding the curse was a solid one.

Shocking ending.

I thought I had this one all figured out, but it definitely took an unexpected turn at the end. I’m still thinking about the ending. There will be no spoilers in this review, but wow…

Things didn’t turn out exactly as I expected them to, but I think this was for the best, helping this series stand out a little bit more in a unique way.

The Cons:

Nothing new here.

This film definitely had similar vibes to It Follows and Final Destination: Bloodlines. This isn’t a bad thing, but it’s a plot I’ve seen before. That being said, I still think it was executed exceptionally well. The overall sense of dread in this series was definitely captured and there were a few stand-out episodes that were presented in such a compelling way.

I also think this series could have been a little shorter. I think we could have wrapped everything up in six episodes, but I did find this one very easy to binge-watch.

So am I in or out?

I’m in!!!

Something Very Bad is Going to Happen nails its creepy, sinister vibe with a layered mystery at its core worth exploring.

This was a solid watch if you’re a fan of horror series.

Spoiler-Free Review of “Forbidden Fruits” in Theaters: A Juicy, Witchy Treat!

**This is a spoiler-free review so feel free to read on!**

“Being a witch is being a sister…”

Forbidden Fruits premiered in select theaters on March 27th 2026. The horror fantasy comedy film stars Lili Reinhart, Lola Tung, Victoria Pedretti, Alexandra Shipp, and Gabrielle Union. It runs for approximately an hour and forty-three minutes.

At the Free Eden mall shop, Apple runs a coven with the other female employees, but when a new hire threatens her control over the sisterhood, tensions begin to flare.

Here is the trailer:

Forbidden Fruits has a cheeky premise with sprinkles of gory charm mixed in for good measure, making this a bewitching watch from start to finish. Is it worthy of your next watch? Let’s find out…

The Pros:

Stacked cast!

When I initially saw the cast for this film, I knew it would be something special. I was right. This cast delivered in all the right ways. Lili Reinhart was out of this world! Dark Betty was at her peak! Seriously, please start putting her in more movies. She is an underrated force that deserves to flourish in film.

Victoria Pedretti was a lot of fun as well. I’ve never seen her in a role like this before so it was great seeing her range. Her quirky charm really worked well here, clashing with Regina George-esque, Apple.

Oh and make sure you stick around for the end credit scene to see an icon show up!

Understood the assignment.

This film didn’t take itself too seriously. It embraced some camp and just went all out with its silly, but very entertaining plot. I loved the vibe of this film. As a fan of movies like The Craft, Jawbreaker, and Mean Girls, this film embraced that vibe with style, but also found its own voice.

The fashion was on point (especially Lili Reinhart’s wardrobe) and everything felt so nostalgic and cozy with its mall setting. It’s like this movie was made for me and I enjoyed every moment of it.

The Cons:

Needed to dip a little bit more into the witchy side.

Don’t get me wrong…I absolutely adored this movie. However, I think it could have benefited from just a touch more ritual and magic, but that’s only because I was thoroughly enjoying being immersed into this world and I wanted more. When I got to the end of the movie, I was already ready for a sequel.

So am I in or out?

I’m in 100 percent!

Forbidden Fruits is the perfect addition to the girly horror genre. Think Mean Girls meets The Craft with a delicious attitude of its own.

This film may not be for everyone, but I had the best time watching it and it is already one of my favorite films of the year.
